#BirdoftheDay #TantalizingTextures #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Haven't seen a roadrunner in a minute; this is one from the Salt River in AZ. Floofy crest and brilliant feathers - with a pop of orange!
#BirdoftheDay #SummerLovin' #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Date with my husband around Bubbling Ponds yesterday: small flock of vermilion flycatchers, tons of summer tanagers, yellow-breasted chat and lark sparrow showing off sunlight.
#BirdoftheDay #ScreenFiller #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography White-faced ibis were in abundance at Bolsa Chica this June. This one was unperturbed by my presence as I walked past.
The packaging for both looks like the photos below. They're sold everywhere, including in our little mountain town. And for infants and elders, or those who are immunocompromised/immunosuppressed or with certain other conditions, cyclosporiasis can indeed kill.

#BirdoftheDay #BlueSky #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Taken on the trip of my lifetime, not corvidae, but these blue-eared starlings against a blue sky in Laikipia, Kenya, still fit the category.
At a time like this, is there anything more important to our democracy than an independent judiciary?
Danny Miller@danielmilleresq.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is so powerful. Inspired by the March of a Thousand Robes in Poland, retired and sitting judges in the United States walked down the streets of Columbus, Ohio to stand up for the Rule of Law. #JusticeinMotion
#BirdoftheDay #PerfectPoise #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Verdin looks like I caught it doing something it ought not have.
#BirdoftheDay #FunnyFaces #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Do I have something stuck in my teeth?
#BirdoftheDay #Lifer #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography I was fortunate to add several new birds to my life list on the trip to the British Isles; my favorite might be learning that "Blackbird singing in the dead of night" is actually a thing.
#BirdoftheDay #Cuties #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Pair of yellow-chevroned parakeets found in Buena Park last Christmas. Cali gets the escapee flocks occasionally.
#BirdoftheDay #EbonyandIvory #AllWhite #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Black-necked stilt from a couple of days ago at Gilbert Riparian Area; two great white egrets in a territory fight at Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge back in 2024.
#BirdoftheDay #Quackers #Swans #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Probably have posted these before, but Hyde Park had so many birds that are quite rare in my neck of the woods. Mandarin ducks and mute swan.
#BirdoftheDay #TheArtofSurvival #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Black phoebe with a white moth almost as big as he is.
#BirdoftheDay #BestofJune2026 #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Not terrific (protip - don't try a 2.0tc on a long lens handheld), but I waited my whole life to capture chicks riding on their parents' backs - bonus for the western grebe!
#BirdoftheDay #LifeinBalance #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography A vermillion flycatcher balancing with his catch. Taken at Sweetwater Wetlands, Tucson, AZ.

#BirdoftheDay #LittleBrownBirds #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Discovered San Joachim Marsh in Irvine, CA this trip. What a delight! Scaly-breasted munia were feasting on the grasses in front of the parking lot.
#BirdoftheDay #Food #Birds #WildlifePhotography #NikonPhotography #BirdPhotography #Birding #ECK #Photography Terrible shot of a double-crested cormorant with his catch of the day - a baby ray of some sort, I think. Bolsa Chica, CA. (He did get it down; cormorants are amazing what they can swallow)
